Then the importance of approaching meditation systems in terms of their principles, functions and failure modes. The failure mode for strictly linear progressive models is splitting (e.g. purity/impurity) which leads to a good-self/bad-self duality.https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1165141935419318272 …
